Thanks to the advice that I obtained from the forum, I applied correctly and I have just got the EEA family permit for six months, now I am in the United Kingdom and we want to know what is the right time to send the application form to apply for 5 years of residence ... Shall I send it at the end of the 6 months? and We are wondering whether the extension is a formality or there is a risk that once that I have got my resident permit granted and i have got the Visa issued in the British Embassy in my country there is a still a chance to have my residence permit refused?
Of course that we have a genuine relationship

The second question is that if I need a Normal visa Schengen to travel to france (my wife is french) or there is a diferent procedure as I hold a EEA family permit?
We would be grateful again from any information
